The Supreme Court on Wednesday stayed an order of a trial court directing Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan to give a voice sample in a case of allegedly delivering a hate speech and using derogatory language against BSP chief Mayawati in 2007.
The voice sample has been sought to match it with Mr. Khan's speech, which was made during a public meeting in Rampur's Tanda area in 2007 and recorded on a CD.
A bench of justices A.S. Bopanna and P.K. Mishra issued notice to the Uttar Pradesh government and the complainant in the case on the plea filed by Mr. Khan.
